Ah.. I got it figured out:
(function() {
window.addEventListener("load", function(event) {
var swfArgs = unsafeWindow.yt.config_.SWF_ARGS;
if (swfArgs) {
var keys = ["video_id", "sk", "t"];
var params = keys.map(function(k) { return k +
"=" + swfArgs
[k]; }).join("&");
//Create the link
var link = document.createElement('a');
link.href = "http://www.youtube.com/get_video?";
+ params;
var txt = document.createTextNode("Download
this Video");
link.appendChild(txt);
document.getElementById('watch-player-div').appendChild(link);
}
}, false);
})();
... But, I read that using unsafeWindow is "bad".. I am curious how
I can do this without it, because yt still is undefined without it...
